Junction of cone with shell of column

Junction of cone with shell of column

Junction of cone with shell of column

(OP)
If somebody would be able to help me.
I must calculated junction of cone with shell of column in accordance with ASME rules Div VIII.  This junction is a line of support for calculation column on external pressure. But I do not know how to mark axial force acting on cone. Her signature is "f1" and measured in [lb/in].
I know that this forces due to dead weight own columns over cone, windforces etc but I do not understand why is expressed in [lb/in].  
I first time work with ASME Code.
I will be grateful too every answer or address of internet page where I would be able to find example such calculations.
Matter is very urgent.

RE: Junction of cone with shell of column

It is in lb/in because it is obtained by dividing the total axial force due e.g. to weight by the perimeter length of the juncture. For wind moments you should determine the maximum value of the linear distribution over section and use the maximum compressive or tensile value, whichever is controlling (normally the compressive one).
An example of a cone to cylinder juncture calculation is in App.L, but don't know whether this covers your doubts.
